I took part in this writing/reviewing contest last year and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Basically, there are four rounds, some of which involve writing a story, and others of which involve writing a review .
It's free to sign up, and there are cash prizes for anyone who makes it to the top three places. First round starts October 12th: http://wyrmsgauntlet.com/1st-challenge-announced-oct-12th/

Bummer, Aaron!
I'm still in (as flintonlaubakersmith). Last year I got 3rd place, so I'm interested to see if I can best that this time around!
I have a pretty strong English Lit background, though, and the fiction writing rounds tend to trip me up way more than the review rounds do. Eurgh!

Re: Wyrm's Gauntlet writing contest
Hey, thanks! Round three is a lot of fun so far. My MA in English puts me in good standing when it comes to things like close reading.
